Overview

Большой меч ночных кошмаров

Game iconGreatsword of Horrid Dreams is a one-handed sword from The Burning Crusade expansion. Despite its menacing name, in-game it is indeed a one-handed weapon, but with the model of a massive two-handed blade: a wide, jagged blade in blood-red and dark tones. It is exactly this contradiction — a giant silhouette wielded in one hand — that has made the item a popular transmog choice.

The blade occupies the one-handed sword slot, so it is worn by classes that have access to such weapons. It looks especially striking on characters who cannot use two-handers through their gameplay: the sword can be paired with a shield or an off-hand weapon while still visually delivering the look of a huge blade.

Source

The Greatsword of Horrid Dreams drops from Murmur — the final boss of the Shadow Labyrinth dungeon in Terokkar Forest.

  • Shadow Labyrinth is a dungeon from The Burning Crusade era; its entrance is located in Terokkar Forest.
  • Murmur stands at the very end of the dungeon, and the sword comes directly from his loot.
  • The drop chance is low: the item does not come from every kill, so farming may take several runs.
  • At max level the dungeon can be cleared solo in a couple of minutes, so repeated runs do not take much time.
  • There is no weekly lockout on this dungeon — you can re-enter and kill Murmur again and again.

Alternatives

There is no documented recolor of this sword model: the Greatsword of Horrid Dreams remains its main carrier. However, other notable weapons that are also suitable for transmog drop from the same source, Murmur:

Game iconWhispering Blade of Slaying Dagger Murmur, Shadow Labyrinth

Who It Suits Visually

  • Creates the look of a warrior with a giant blade on classes that can only use one-handed swords.
  • Pairs well with dark and blood-red armor — the blade is kept in a crimson-and-black palette.
  • Suits grim "necromantic" concepts and death knight-style looks thanks to its sinister silhouette.
  • Looks striking when combined with a shield: a massive sword in one hand gives a deliberately unbalanced, brutal appearance.

Tips

1

It is most convenient to farm solo at max level: enter Shadow Labyrinth in Terokkar Forest and run straight to the final boss.

2

The dungeon can be re-entered without restrictions — leave and come back in if the sword does not drop.

3

Alongside the sword, pick up Murmur's other weapons — the Sonic Spear and the Whispering Blade of Slaying — if you are building a transmog collection.

4

The sword occupies a one-handed weapon slot, so it can be worn by characters with a shield, a dual weapon, or a tome in the off-hand.

5

The appearance is saved in your collection forever: you only need to obtain the item once on any character of the account.

6

Before the run, make sure the dungeon is set to Normal difficulty — when entering solo at max level this happens automatically.
